It's been relentless. I'll give the bastard credit for one thing, he has stamina. He's like a horror movie villain that just never seems to go away.
Not hearing him (or about him) would be a big relief. He first came down that escalator on June 16, 2015, so for 10 years, 2 months and 1 week (as of this posting) I don't think we've had a day that we haven't heard him, or about him. At this point I would rather hear fingernails on a chalkboard.
BUT, there is that pesky line of succession. If Trump is gone, we get Vance. If Vance could somehow also be removed from office, then we get Trump's little Johnson. But, while Vance is smarter, and maybe more evil, I don't think he could garner all the irrational support that Trump gets.
...be a a special late night opening of a little computer store, to get my brand new copy of MS Windows 95. Yes, that was 30 years ago. The Windows 95 install disc included that music video. It also had this one... youtu.be/iqL1BLzn3qc?...
Well damn! I was gonna post that video later tonight. You didn't give any further details, so I don't know if you shared that with the same thought in mind. I was going to post about what I was doing 30 years ago tonight. I was in a parking lot of a store, waiting for midnight when there would...
When this occurred, I was almost 7 "fingers" old (little kid reference) so I wasn't paying attention to this kind of stuff. After the orange buffoon has basically chloroformed PBS, 56 years later, it's a shame to think that what Fred Rogers did on May 1, 1969 was lost. youtu.be/fKy7ljRr0AA?...
Yeah, it's always good to set the goals to achieve the best results.
Washington DC really is being overrun by criminals, it's a gang of thugs called Republicans. Their leader is the most corrupt career criminal ever. He resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Alternately a debilitating stroke, that leads to losing 90% of his verbal skills and 75% of his motor skills, so his fans see him as weak, and he's just too embarrassed to show his face in public anymore. This might be even better, it might break his follower's fever so he doesn't become a martyr.
YES! No easy exit for him, just relief to everyone else FROM him. The best punishment would be in solitary confinement, until the glorious day of his passing. Somewhere he has no audience of sycophants to buy into his bullshit, where he just stews in the Hell that is his own demented mind.
We have to support the hippies! Everyone you see in this video (that is still alive) is eligible for Social Security today. youtu.be/HKdsRWhyH30?...
We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden. 56 years ago today, a few people visited Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York, near the town of Woodstock, for a little party.
When you rule a country, where a growing half of the population hates you, so, you decide to slip off to your private golf course in another country, and remember that they also hate you! 2 thumbs (and 2 big toes) up to the welcoming committee in Scotland!
Something I made that showed up in my memory feed elsewhere today. It was 6 years ago people started planning to "storm Area 51" in September.
The Trump supporters are angry, violent and have guns, that's why when this goes down, we need to feed the fire. It will be hard to do, but, we must press the issue: "We can't let them do this to Trump!"
The first ones to join him, (at least from the higher ranks of his organization) Russell Vought and Kevin Roberts. There are probably more names I don't know off the top of my head.
Most excellent news! Hopefully Russel Vought and Kevin Roberts can join the party soon! (probably a lot more, the names of which I don't know off the top of my head)
This is to commemorate the recent passing of Edwin John Feulner Jr., the last remaining of the 3 original founding members of the terrorist group, "The Heritage Foundation". youtu.be/6CYkZcPYXQI?...

I'm not fan of Nick F. but, I'm glad to hear him speak out. There are people that will listen to him, that would never pay any attention to what "LIBS" like us might say.
Trump wants to fire Powell, for doing renovations to a building that is 9 years older than Trump. But, look how Trump trashed the Oval Office, trying to make it look more like his shit hole apartment in New York City. All that gold bling must cost a lot. (and it's tacky looking too)
Whoever appointed Powell must be fired immediately! Thanks for your attention to this matter!
I am not a fan of Reagan, but I hear that Trump is. I think someone needs to set his ass in front of a screen, and have him watch this 4:26 clip. youtu.be/2R8QxCD6ir8?...
Watch this 3 and half minute movie clip, and tell me if the behavior of the character Captain Queeg reminds you of anyone? youtu.be/CLUZ0Nv7UH4?...
Trump seems to have a knack for finding people that look like comic book villains...
I always used to laugh at the thought of "Christmas in July", but, it's so damn hot, maybe the idea ain't that bad. Take a look at this pic and chill out a bit.
Gosh, watching all the MAGA meltdowns happening today, is giving me a severe case of schadenfreude. I guess it must suck to go all in on a conspiracy theory for half a decade, that was fueled by your hero, only to have him declare it's all just a hoax.
I think he's hiding out at the North Pole, disguised as his alter ego.
Might be the same thing Mitch the Glitch had 5 years ago. Sadly, don't hold your breath, McConnell is still doing evil as always.
So the right-wingers are always in a rage about "participation trophies", I wonder how they feel about their hero getting a huge trophy when he didn't even participate?
Seriously, I have eaten pizzas that were more Supreme than 2/3 of that court!
It might be just a coincidence, but, right after we heard that the Epstein files were being swept under the rug, we learned that Angela is divorcing her husband Ken Paxton, for unspecified "biblical grounds". It just seems like we should question the timing.
The Trump administration is to government what the "Fyre Festival" is to entertainment.
They have different imaginary friends that live in the sky
While he does like creating chaos, and inflicting harm on people, the photo-op would be more important to him. He thrives on attention, and he knows the best way to get it, is by doing outrageous things. That's why he does what he does. cruelty is part of it, but attention is the driving force.

Here's a little info about the song... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_...
40 years ago today, the Greenpeace ship "Rainbow Warrior" was sunk by French Intelligence in the Port of Auckland, New Zealand. This song is about that ship. Check the comments for a couple links about this. youtu.be/n2dORQp78vM?...
Con't... There are already many reporters there, getting right in the thick of things. Let him watch it on TV, after all, watching TV is what he does best.
I hate Trump, but, to be fair, keep him away from there. What's he gonna do there? It's simple, a Presidential motorcade can cause a mess, in a normal city, on a normal day. No matter who the President is, dropping that chaos into a disaster area, can serve no useful purpose, but a photo-op.
This tweaking of Grok by Leon Mush should be a reminder to all that, while AI can be fun, & serve some actual purposes, it isn't an omnipotent entity with all the answers. It's a computer program, that is only as good as the HUMANS that have given it input. It could be used as a mind control tool.
... and on a serious note, someone needs to create an emoji wearing a tin foil hat!
From the same folks that will tell you that there can't be any "man made" climate change.* *unless they can come up with some batshit crazy idea, like Nancy Pelosi is using weather manipulating 5G vaccinated computers, controlling Jewish space lasers from the basement of a DC pizza place! π΅βπ«
It's like this, Rogan's a jerk, that has the ear of other jerks, if he says something that makes them THINK, that's good. Most of his listeners won't listen to rational voices, but they hear him. I won't put him on a pedestal, but, I won't bash him when he speaks reality either. It all helps.
Good! Let me be clear, I have no plans to join his new party, but, if it splinters the right wing vote, I'm all for it. I've often thought, maybe this country would be better off if we had about a half dozen prominent political parties, like other countries do, as opposed to just 2 polar opposites
This is a cover version of the hit from the recently departed Sly Stone. I picked the above version because it was performed/recorded on the 4th of July. For those that would prefer, here is the original hit version from 1969. Also great! youtu.be/x2tH2H6iLAo?...
Sometimes I gotta focus away from politics for a little bit to keep my sanity. Time to flashback to better days. This happened in Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ FORTY years ago today! I like this one... youtu.be/xBh1FjOq_9w?...
Bob Dylan said: "...When you ain't got nothing, you got nothing to lose, You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to conceal..." *** The biggest flaw in the elite's plan, they've intentionally set it up, so there's less of them, than us.
It's kinda odd. For the 4th of July, Independence Day, so many "Patriots" will be celebrating with fireworks imported from China, that will soon cost much more, because of the Tariffs that all the "Patriots" want so badly. Wait for them to whine next year, when they can't afford fireworks.
I guess I'm getting old. I see that " Helldriver " is trending today. Apparently it's a video game. My first thought was back in the '70's I went to see "Dan Fleenor's Hurricane Hell Drivers" Here's a link to a YouTube video... youtu.be/kdO2leoLI3E?...
People reacting to the Trump Musk fight. Sure cheer on Musk for messing with Trump, but, don't jump on his bandwagon. If he primaries GOP lawmakers, it will be with even WORSE GOP candidates. His problem with the OBBB is that it isn't MORE horrendous! Enjoy the fight, but, stay focused on intent.
I remember those, as I recall, they wore out quickly. Thanks for posting, it made me learn stuff. I was thinking those might have been early forms of "Picture Discs" that were popular in the late 70's & 80's. Nope, those are almost 100 years old & cereal box records actually started in the 50's.
Glad to hear that D.O.G.E. has lost it's 'nards!
Just for the heatwave...

Nice montage. Can you image him getting back to the White House, turning on the TV and seeing where all the people were? (protesting him) They may never get all the ketchup off the walls!
I'm glad this event (and the protests) took place on the same day. It's easy to connect a "leader" to a country, and also it's population. The world was able to see, that the majority of us do not support the orange pumpkin head narcissistic nincompoop.
The look on Walt Nauta's face is like "You OK boss? Can I get you a Big Mac?".
He's so dislikable. If he would leave politics, he could have a promising career in Hollywood, playing movie villains. He already has the persona down perfectly!
Is this how it really is?
Here's a plan for Saturday and Trump's big birthday party parade with military tanks...
![An image displaying only text, that says: On Saturday June 14, 2025, Trump plans to have his big birthday parade with tanks and other military gear. He wants attention, don't give it to him. I apologize in advance, I know this isn't very green, but hear me out, it's for a good cause. On Saturday, turn ON every TV in your home. NOT for the parade. Make sure you are tuned to something else, maybe a shopping channel, anything that will not be showing the parade, so definitely NOT a TV news channel. Turn them on at 8:00am [08:00] and leave them on until 10:00pm [22:00] if possible. (Times are in Eastern time zone). This will be important if you have a smart TV that tracks your viewing. Most smart TVs are doing this in the background. If the TV is on, but not tuned to the parade, it will affect the ratings, as the TV was actually on, but watching something other than Trump's birthday party. This may sound boring, but, you don't actually have to watch the TV, just have it on, and you can go about your day.

Sad to hear of the passing of Sly Stone at 82. Here's one of his hits that seems really relevant today... youtu.be/YUUhDoCx8zc?...
That might be the plan, most of the damage is done. Blame Trump, push him out, then, not fix anything. It's already as they want it.
As great as that would be, it ain't gonna happen. Musk is an asshole, looking to make damage, but he's not gonna confess to a felony, unless he did it from South Africa, and he has too many business interests in the states to just leave.
The hand might be too big, to be the guy with notoriously small hands, but it does bring back memories of the Monty Python foot!
Of course there would have been a plus side, being the heathen I am, I would be left behind, along with some cool equipment that was no longer needed by it's owners. 2011 could have been a banner year for a great haul!
Also, nutty radio host Harold Camping predicted a "Rapture" on that date. I told my friends how pissed I would be if their God ruined Hamvention. The punchline later changed to "Camping was almost right, but instead of a 'Rapture', we had a 'Rupture' (of the sewage line). Just a vowel off" N8ODV
The good news is, while it has been distressing, the first month is behind us. The bad news, there are still 47 months of this shit left.
Cascading consequences indeed. (Not that even he could have planned it). There was more than a "trickle down effect", it was more like a crashing down effect!
Hopefully someone alerts MTG & Q before Elon destroys NASA!
